HNN to hold annual touch-a-truck June 14

HOLLISTON, MA—Holliston Newcomers & Neighbors (HNN) invites children of all ages to climb aboard a variety of trucks and vehicles at this year’s Touch-A-Truck Fundraiser & Food Truck Festival on Sunday, June 14, 2026. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine, at the Sam Placentino Elementary School, 235 Woodland Street (off Route 16) in Holliston. The event will be horn-free for the first hour (10 a.m.-11 a.m.), ideal for younger children and children with special needs. 

We anticipate over 30 trucks, including police and fire, heavy construction, landscaping, tree removal, and highway, will be available for children to touch, climb and explore. 

Bring your appetites, because food trucks will offer a wide menu of delicious options. 

And there’s more! DJ Danny will provide musical entertainment throughout the event. For an additional fee, and available throughout the event, Roaming Railroad will take children on a train ride, and Imagine That will offer face painting. 

Pre-Sale Event admission is $10 per child (ages 1-12) and $2 per adult. Day-of admission is $12 per child (ages 1-12) and $3 per adult. Proceeds support Holliston Newcomers & Neighbors’ Community Grant Fund. The HNN Community Grant Fund provides funding for important Holliston events and services, including the Holliston Parks & Recreation Summer Concert Series, Holliston Town Library free museum passes, Holliston Downtown Marigold Project, and the new Holliston Bike Park.
